I was in a house and there was a delivery guy coming to drop something off. I went to meet him at the front of the house which was a huge room. He was a young surfer type, short, with long blonde hair. He was holding a large heavy bag of parts. I started pulling the parts out to examine what it was. I asked him if there were any instructions or anything that indicated what this was and how to put it together. He said no, that this was all there was. As I pulled the pieces out, I realized that this was a miniature table saw that you could put anywhere. I started to piece it together, wondering out loud what each element might be before seeing how it would fit with the other parts. The kid mainly watched as I did this, seemingly impressed that I could figure it all out so quickly.
Players: Me, young surfer type delivery guy.
Events: Delivery, putting pieces together.
Symbols: delivery guy, saw, no instructions, front of house
Thoughts: There was a component of impressing the young guy, as if I’m getting old and slow. Lack of instructions is kinda like life, without a manual. Why a saw? Cutting things?
